"The location of this banquet is also very familiar, and it is three o'clock in Taohuawu."

Zhong Xiaoshu held the letter, and Qing'er was beside her entourage, and she rarely got up early.

"Is it all arranged?" Zhong Xiaoshu tilted his head and asked.

"Back to my mother." Qing'er replied, "The carriage is ready, let's set off at the right time." ”

"Hmm." Zhong Xiaoshu actually didn't have any other thoughts, saying that he was going to the peach blossom banquet, but it was better to go to see the scenery outside the palace.

This time, the trip was very low-key, and Yin Zhige usually allowed her to leave the palace.

When I arrived at Taohuawu, the gate was not closed. Pushing the door, the wind suddenly rose, rolling up a field of peach blossoms, only looking extraordinarily pink. Tender.

But unexpectedly, there was no sound of conversation, and Zhong Xiaoshu's heart instantly froze.

"Mother, how can there be no one here, are we in the wrong place?"

Qing'er also panicked, and hurriedly took out the letter from her arms and took a closer look.

"The place is right, the time is right, how can it be wrong? It can't be that she deliberately teased you. ”

"Wait."

Zhong Xiaoshu waved his hand to stop it, his face was slightly condensed, and Qing'er quickly shut up in shock.

"Maybe they haven't come yet, so let's wait a little longer. If it's not yet noon...... Let's go back first. ”

"Yes." Qing'er was also very obedient at this time, and did not say a word.

In the huge peach orchard, only the wind rolls up the branches and rattles, if you just listen to the sound, it is really a little crazy.

The minutes ticked by, and noon approached.

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

A clear man's voice suddenly sounded, so frightened that Qing'er hurriedly covered her mouth, and even Zhong Xiaoshu turned back suddenly and vigilantly.

The man appeared silently, and his appearance was as handsome and bewitching as his voice.

The problem is that Zhong Xiaoshu has indeed never seen this one.

"Not going to hand over the treasure?" The man said again.

Zhong Xiaoshu is confused now.

Treasure? What treasures? Did she carry a treasure on her?

"Excuse me, did you recognize the wrong person?" Zhong Xiaoshu replied politely.

"You're really not going to hand it over?" The mysterious man's thin lips were pursed, and his impatience was already evident.

Zhong Xiaoshu: ......

Blinking, a little can't get back to his senses.

She felt that the person in front of her had already set his sights on her. No matter what he asked, he wouldn't answer.

"I think you probably recognized the wrong person......

As everyone knows, before the words fell, the man seemed to have lost his patience suddenly.

At that moment, a cold sword stabbed horizontally, and the sword qi rolled up the peach blossoms on the ground.

One after another fell like rain, and the bright colors were mixed with an awe-inspiring killing intent that was not concealed.

Zhong Xiaoshu's pupils shrank and he staggered back.

The tip of Ming Ruoqiushui's sword suddenly enlarged in front of her eyes, and she knew that she couldn't dodge it at all.

It was at this moment of crisis that a sword suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking the man's attack.

If you look closely, isn't it Zheng Cong?

After two moves, he turned around and looked at Zhong Xiaoshu with a foolish look, and said helplessly: "Do you know, you have been tricked again." ”

"Why don't you go back to the carriage soon, I'll leave it here."

Zheng Cong was a little impatient and shouted at Zhong Xiaoshu. The sword he was holding in front of him did not dare to relax at all.

"Good. Please. ”

Zhong Xiaoshu gritted his teeth and did not hesitate at the moment, the carriage did not leave, the pace was very fast, and he returned to the carriage with the frightened maid.

She knew that she owed a great favor today.

"Niangniang......" Qing'er was about to cry, she was afraid that something would happen to Zhong Xiaoshu.

"Hmm."

Zhong Xiaoshu was also very helpless.

She didn't know why the man asked for the treasure as soon as he came up, and the rule of doing it directly if he didn't agree with it.

Of course, at this moment, I also realized that this matter is inseparable from Xia Zhitao, otherwise why would it be signed by the Xia family?

"There's something wrong." Zhong Xiaoshu sighed.

"Let's go, let's go to Xia's house first, if you can find something."

Zhong Xiaoshu thought for a moment and said again.

patted the stunned Qing'er on the shoulder.

The latter hurriedly responded, came back to his senses, and called the master of the carriage to drive to Xia's house quickly.

The carriage traveled quickly, but in the afternoon of the same day, it reached its destination.

It was a house, with black tiles and white walls, and it was very quaint and atmospheric.

Qing'er took a few steps forward and slammed the door.

"Who?" A figure resembling a butler poked his head out and looked.

When he saw the identity token that Qing'er handed him to see, and then saw the soft sedan chair, his face turned white with fright.

"The Emperor...... Queen Mother, see Queen Mother! ”

His lips trembled and he whispered a few words, and leaned down to bow.

Oh, my God! That's the Queen!

As a little housekeeper of the family, he is the green smoke on the ancestral grave, so that he can witness the demeanor of the queen mother!

"Queen Mother, please come in, please come in!" The butler hurriedly greeted, and then kicked the dumbfounded little guy and shouted in a low voice.

"Why don't you go and ask the head of the house!"

Although the voice was very low, it still entered Zhong Xiaoshu's ears.

Zhong Xiaoshu touched his chin very unvividly, and was thinking seriously: Am I so terrible?

"I don't know if the queen has arrived, and the ministers have lost their welcome, and they have lost their welcome."

Fang entered the main hall, and the old master of Naxia hurriedly bowed down and personally served the tea, and invited Zhong Xiaoshu to sit on the top.

"It doesn't matter." Zhong Xiaoshu smiled gently.

She didn't like to put on a shelf, so she took a sip of tea and said softly: "I don't know Xia Zhitao, Miss Xia is there?" ”

"Huh?"

The old family master Xia was stunned, and his first reaction was whether his daughter had offended the queen mother somewhere, so she would find her own house to ask about the crime.

You must know that although his family is small, he is also a head and face in the court, not so much because he is afraid of the queen, but because he is afraid of the emperor.

After all, this queen mother is the most important thing that the emperor looks at, who dares to offend?

"Yes, yes, yes."

"Hmm." Zhong Xiaoshu smiled, "This palace wants to meet her in person." ”

"This ......"

The old master of Xia gritted his teeth, and suddenly stood up and bowed to Zhong Xiaoshu!

Bow down and say.

"The queen, the minister knows that the little girl has been stubborn since she was a child, you are generous and kind, and you have to ask the mother to bear with me.

Ignorance...... I don't know where she offended Niangniang, so Niangniang personally found this Xia Mansion, and the minister was willing to be punished on her behalf. ”

For her who doesn't like to beat around the bend, the best way to get straight to the point and say the purpose is the best way.

But for the old master of the Xia family, who has been socializing all the year round, he doesn't even say a few polite words, isn't this an obvious offense?

These words are called sincere and sincere, and they are simply an excellent example of old tears and tears.

Zhong Xiaoshu held the tea in his hand and paused silently, and the smile on his lips stiffened.

The maid next to her was covering her mouth and snickering.

"Old master, in fact, you are too worried." Zhong Xiaoshu couldn't laugh or cry.

"I'm not here to ask about the guilt of Xingshi, but I really have something important to ask Miss Xia."

"That's right." The old family master of Xia also blushed, "The old minister is abrupt." ”
